Bio

Hello. I am Marle. I am a writer writing under various names and I do projects.

In the last 10 years, most of my work has been around refining and grasping my purpose, and the meaning of my work, and mastering my skills as a researcher and project manager. It has also been about trying to offer a different perspective on the role of citizens in facilitating the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production, inspiring people and guiding them in whatever mastery journey they were on. This blog has been appearing daily or weekly for almost a decade. My main inspiration for the creation of this blog is Seth's Blog. I was inspired by the simplicity of his outputs as well as the dedication and consistency. 

I've spent most of my professional life as a community builder in the charity and voluntary sectors. I also worked for local government and universities. I've also used my skills and abilities freelance for various starting companies focusing on sustainability, mental health, health and wellbeing as well as within the art and socially engaged art practices. Learn more about my projects (here).

I enjoy writing content for websites and building them (e.g. Leicester Fixers Eugenie Bitty Arts). I've written most blog posts on Quetzal and worked with graphic designers, website builders and volunteers to bring it all together. I also manage various Instagram and Facebook pages.

I enjoy collaboration and projects and ultimately discussing ideas that will inspire change. 

Enjoy the blog

Only one person said that ''he could not stay anymore in their property'' - does that mean that he could stay because he wrecked the place? or because they had a change of plan? Who knows. I could not even bring myself to put my dirty laundry out on Airbnb. B. has mental health issues. Am I the one who needs to make this personal matter public on a social media platform?  So I wrote '' B. cannot stay in my property anymore and I hope that he will find a group of people who will be able to support him''. Is it the appropriate language to use? I contacted Airbnb to let them know about B. - they gave me a call and kind of told me that I need to be careful with the people I am bringing to my home. I told them, yes but there was no indication...

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Do you want to stay in one place and be rooted to ground yourself in a specific environment? Do you want to be leaving and go to different places to elevate yourself? Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..
